Light up the night...

So I have been a little behind on this blog but after next Friday I will be more on top of it. Next Friday is our RELAY!!!!

Today I just wanted to post something real fast that I thought was a great idea and will be doing it next year for our Relay. We are going to sell luminaries for people to have at their house the night of relay to light themselves. I called it "Light Up The Night, Finish The Fight." There was a relay down in Texas that had the idea and I loved it. Just selling the bags to people to light at their house at the time when your luminaries ceremony is (our is at 10:00pm) and then the name of the person in memory or in honor of will be read at the Relay. Same price as if you was there but you are at your house and we light up the town not just the Relay!!!

This is the flyer I made for it this year and just posted it on Facebook but next year it will be one of our main fundraisers.

Family Fun Day and Car Show!!

So yesterday was our Family Fun Day and Car show!!! It was a success!! I am so proud of the teams and all the help we got. If it wasn't for every ones help the day wouldn't have been so great!! The numbers are still coming in but from what I can see we did awesome for our first year. So a recap of what went on Saturday. 

First we started off with our 5K Family Fun Run/Walk. One of the teams, the 301 Thunder, put this all together. The registration forms, the flyers, the t-shirts and the set up was all them. They had 73 participants and they included family teams, individuals, and teams. Some the teams put together t shirts which I thought was a great idea!! 

The next was the Car Show. There was a total of 28 cars or so. Everyone seemed to have a great time. I learned a lot of stuff that I am going to use next year. Next year will be bigger and better. 

There was a guy there who won the Relay Committee Award that had an awesome truck there. This award was decided by 3 of us. We just thought that this truck had the Relay Spirit!!

Inside and Outside we had crafts/vendor booths. We have almost 40 or so. A few team even had a booth to sell stuff for their team. This really helped a few teams get closer to their goals. Here are just a few of the booths we had out there. 

One team (a new one as of Saturday) thought it was a good idea to have a kids area. She sold wristbands $5.00 for a day of jumping or $1.00 for 20 mins. 

All in all it was a wonderful day and we made some money for cancer research. I will be putting totals up soon.

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look at what we did at our Family Fun Day and Car Show in Cordell, Oklahoma. If you would like info on how we did any of our activities just let me know and I will let you know.
